Can the Address on a business website and paperwork be different to soletrader’s home address?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:21:51 +0000

Can a soletrader business use a family members address as the address on letterheads and website. All the financial stuff would be dealt by the soletrader.

Could this have any impact on the person living at the address used on business paperwork?

Simple answer…Yes, you can put any address for your business.

The E-Commerce Regulations require that all commercial web sites make the following information directly and permanently available to consumers via the website:

the company’s name, postal address (and registered office address if this is different) and email address.

I hope this is of help.

how do I direct traffic to my alteration business website, when others are using search?

admin — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 04:11:16 +0000

I want to post my clothing alteration business on the internet. how do I direct traffic to my alteration business website, when others are using search?

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at http://www.google.com/addurl/?...... and
MSN.com since 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.

Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to discover
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.

You may want to consider some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of various critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.

Design: Should you create an extensive Flash-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also consider the
Internet audience and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Flash webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Flash site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Flash pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Flash websitge, ask the simple
question, "Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?" And if you had to choose between these two users
for maximum marketability, then select analog users
since 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML designed webpages
is best for them.

A non-Flash-based website which relies on hard text,
is far easier to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs since as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.

Avoid use of frames since any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.

Placement of Metatags:

A ranking or search order does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it begins with the "Title" metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The "Title" should describe in generic
terms, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the "Title" is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.

The second metatag is the "Description" which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one’s goods and services.

And the very last category – "Keywords" are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid multiple entries
which could be mistaken as "spamdexed entries" which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
"Spamdexing" when discovered on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.

Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Begin with the very "generic" search query
"sandwiches downtown los angeles," taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to "LA" and of course, leave
out the parentheses ("). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out where "Nazos.net"
is ranked. It’s ranked No. 1!
Again, Nazos.net’s high web presence was achieved by
proper web design and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google’s publication guidelines.

Good luck!

How much will cost to run a professional business website?

I am planning to run a business website. But I don’t know anything about the cost. I am not talking about designing the website or maintenance. I am talking about hosting etc..Could you please give some information.

Well, it depends on how much you want to spend.

1. If you’re from the UK I recommend http://www.hosttell.com/one They are one of the leading European hosting companies (hosting over 500 000 websites), and they currently have a promotion in the UK. They are offering free hosting and a domain (You have to pay the £9.50 setup fee and that’s it). Every plan includes Photo Gallery, WebEditor (so you can build a website without knowledge of HTML), Google Adwords coupon (so you can advertise your website on google for free) and a lot more. Check them out.

P.S. They are running this promotion in UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and India so if you’re from one of these countries you can get really cheap web hosting.

2. For $5-$10 I recommend Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html

You can use the promo code PLUS at sign up page and get the $50 discount + 2 Free domain names. This way you get them for $69.40/year ($5.78/month).

How to start a business website cheap and easy?

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:21:44 +0000

A family friend of ours has just started a small business venture. The business is related with designer bags and women accessories. Our friend wants to explore export opportunities and she needs a simple website and maybe develop it into a sophisticated one once the business grows so that through the web site she would be able to tap new customers and unlimited business prospects abroad. I just want to advise her how to start a business website that is cheap and does not cost that much and easy to set up and manage the website.

Hi Canda, tell your friend to draw out a concept first and make herself clear on what she wants to appear in the website. After that, find a domain name, preferably the same name of her business so that the website has its own identity and is easy to remember or memorize. You can get a free domain at http://www.webhostingreality.com/hostgator.php

I suggest that in order to avoid hiring an expensive webdesigner, just use a free open source software, no cost at all. Just click and install the software and your friend’s website will be live all in a minute. Wordpress or Joomla are two popular softwares for making a business website. I prefer Wordpress.
